i made this thoroughly out-of-character purchase today. (if it's not that exact shirt it's one very like it). i don't know what happened, perhaps i was distracted by the banana/guava/mango/berry/sobe/whoknowswhat smoothie my sister was drinking on the way to the mall (and she always buys the largest one she can get, so it was enormousit was on sale ( Read more... )

today was a beautiful autumn day. not exactly chilly yet, but i wore a light jacket. and yet when i got to class early there was a girl waiting outside the classroom wearing fewer (and smaller) clothes than i would have gone to the beach in ( Read more... )

The entire purpose of this post is to congratulate melphase70938 who has the loveliest voice you could ever imagine and was just chosen for the role of Carmen! That's right, she'll be playing Carmen in Carmen!

so if you know and love melphase70938, go give her a hug today :)

(and how about some details on the where/when of all of this too, huh?)

gah! such a busy week! almost all of it minute details not even worth posting (not that that will stop me at some later date)! but since busy=not moping, i really can't complain.

i hope you all have had a happy and productive week too :)

all of my classes have gone well so far, and even though this is going to be a semester very heavy on reading and writing, it looks like it's going to be a good one. and, for a nice change, my books were relatively inexpensive (compared, at least, to the infamous Intro to Lit I book of last fall which must have been made of gold, i swear ( Read more... )

gah! i was just browsing through the online site for one of my courses, and my professor has posted the syllabus. and so i read it. and the entirety of my semester grade is going to be based on a series of presentations. yikes! now this isn't as unreasonable as it may sound. it's a teaching course and the whole point is to learn how to teach. and ( Read more... )

i had a much better day today. and i think part of the reason that i did was that i kept very busy. if i simply have a lot of tiny details to concentrate on it seems to stop my mind from drifting off into churning self-loathing. and so today i gave the whole house very good cleaning (i'm talking about moving the furniture people!) and did some ( Read more... )

i had my hair cut today. nothing major, it was just a trim, really. but it still made me nervous, nervous beyond all reasonable levels of nervousness. almost as bad as the dentist (which is pretty jittery). i feel so self-conscious and embarrassed while my hair is actually being cut, as though i should be apologizing for, i don't know, not having ( Read more... )

a complete non-post, i know, but i don't want you to think i've abandoned you :)
i've just been running errands and such, and been generally busy. and i haven't had much to say. but i'm fine and i hope you all are too!
muah!
